Where in Casablacnca Do They Say Play It Again Sam
And the reply is: nobody. That line isn't in the motion-picture show. We go the full scoop from the website The Phrase Finder:
This is well-known as one of the most widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the film is 'Play it, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play it again, Sam' is start said in the flick past Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano role player 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):
Ilsa: Play it in one case, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you lot mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes Past."
Sam: Oh, I tin can't remember information technology, Miss Ilsa. I'thousand a little rusty on information technology.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum…
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.
The line is usually associated with Humphrey Bogart and later on in the moving-picture show his character Rick Blaine has a similar exchange, although his line is only 'Play it':
Rick: You know what I desire to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: Yous played it for her, yous can play information technology for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I tin can think…
Rick: If she can stand it, I tin can! Play it!

So in that location you lot have information technology. It'southward almost similar hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What'southward upwards, Doc?"
The plot of the movie is quite nuanced and complex, taking place during 1942 in the city of Casablanca, Morocco, which is a magnet for refugees and shady agents on both sides of WWII because of its location on the coastline of Africa down from Gibraltar. I won't effort to summarize the whole thing here, but it has a nice setup and a fascinating moral issue. The setup is that Rick, the owner of Rick's Cafè, a gambling den and full general coming together place for those in the know, had been madly in love with a woman named Ilse in 1940. He'd met her in Paris right at the start of the war. Okay. She'd thought at the time that her husband, a Czech resistance fighter named Victor Laszlo, had died in a concentration camp. When the husband showed upwards, alive and well, she'd gone off with him without a discussion to Rick. Now, in the moving-picture show's present, she's in Casablanca with said married man and runs into Rick there. The moral effect? Should Rick help Ilsa and her hubby to escape the Nazis by giving them false letters of transit, or should he just help the husband get abroad and keep Ilse with him? (I'thousand oversimplifying madly hither.) The husband really knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to go out past himself. So what should Rick do? (I get a lilliputian irritated with the idea that information technology's up to the two men to make the decision.) At the last moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa board the plane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but before long and for the balance of your life". Well, then!
In the story "Equally Fourth dimension Goes Past" was Rick and Ilse'due south song–you lot know, "their" song. It was written by the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his only big striking, although I must mention that he was as well the author of the immortal "When Yuba Plays The Rhumba On The Tuba." The song wasn't even written originally for the famous picture but for a flopped Broadway show titled Everybody's Welcome that ran for 139 performances in 1931. It was and so re-used in a never-produced play called Everybody Goes to Rick's which follows the same bones story line as the movie. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the motion-picture show rights to the play, but no one at the studio expected much from it. They were certainly proven wrong!
I can't resist including here the bodily first poetry of the song which was omitted in the movie and is almost unknown. I think information technology sets up the ideas of the residual of the song very well, and am sorry that Albert Einstein missed out on being associated and so strongly with romance.
This solar day and historic period we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like time
Yet nosotros grow a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein'south theory
So nosotros must get down to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No thing what the progress
Or what may yet exist proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot exist removed.
Here's the prune from the movie which includes the song only too the context around it:
And, because I simply can't resist, here's Hupfeld's other hit:
Here are the lyrics as they announced in the motion picture:
You must recollect this
A kiss is simply a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things employ
As time goes past.
And when two lovers woo
They still say "I dear you"
On that yous tin rely
No affair what the future brings
Equally time goes by.
Moonlight and honey songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and detest
Woman needs human, and human being must have his mate
That no 1 tin can deny.
It's however the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or dice
The earth will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
